d. a. kinsella company was created to make great design accessible to everyone. Our philosophy has always been that strong communication and attention to budget allow us to achieve unique design and planning solutions for every project. DBA- d. a. kinsella company

"Great, Dave stayed within our budget and our addition looks like it was part of a whole new home construction. We were really impressed with Dave Kinsella's design concepts and the workmanship was high quality even though we were on a tight budget. Dave comes from a big family so he understands money and time constraints plus he wants his projects to look as aesthetically pleasing to his clients as possible. We would definitely hire Dave again."

Hello, I'm Sidney. work in the area of ​​construction and renovation to 5 years. my priorities are: work well done, clean, organized and always leave the customer satisfied. I always work at the right price. I always hope to see my clients happy and satisfied.

"Ours was a repair that turned into a renovation. Once the nature of the problem was discovered, so was the shoddiness of the original builder. I would highly recommend and anticipate hiring Handyman next summer for painting, floor work and quite possibly a kitchen renovation. They were quite thorough, professional, polite and extremely neat in protecting the hardwoods and cleaning-up. My only caveat: If it weren't for Angi's list, I would have totally "passed" on this company because the name "Handyman" (to me) suggests small jobs. This is a licensed professional with other licensed professionals and highly skilled workers who I would hire without hesitation for other large tasks."

Custom home building FAQs

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity. 

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.

The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
